Sketch 72 - Lost In Your Eyes

Feels good to draw on my tablet again. Been having fun with Kayla and her fiance Cory. The princess party for my niece's 4th birthday party was actually a lot of fun. I did a lot of  face painting and the kids were so cute in their big poofy dresses and bows.

Friday night/Saturday morning I had to go to the hospital again from over exertion at the 2012 Magic the Gathering draft tournament. I got alittle more excited then I should have over some cards I got and had to go because I was in so much pain. Turns out I have a severe bladder infection which can and probably will prevent my surgery on the 20th from happening. Ive been waiting a long time for this surgery and I really don't want to be in pain anymore. It hurts to get up in the morning.

Tomorrow I go to the doctor and get tested again for the infection. Hoping all is good. If not I really hate these pills I am on. The antibiotics I got are apparently so strong that I cannot go outside in the sun for a lengthy period of time while on them. It increases the chance of getting a sunburn. I get so dizzy and nauseous from them as well. So i should get to bed because I will need a shower in the morning. It is very humid here and we are not used to it! Sweating like crazy.

Goodnight world! Love ya <3

From the Inside

Alright! Today was scary, painful and . . . interesting to say the least. Woke up this morning with stronger then normal pain in my side for hardly doing anything. I didn't really think anything of it until the ride to work when it continued to flare up and cause me brief moments of agony. So like I normally do, I took an Advil. The Advil seemed to have worked ... while I was stationary. We went out after some pointless discussions and started to do our work. The pain started to come back again but it was dull and manageable. However, after a good hour or two I was in so much pain that I was in tears and out of breath.

Margaret and Monica told our boss and he was kind enough to drive me home and give me necessary time off (he told me not to think about coming back until Monday lol) So I spent the next couple of hours at home resting until my mum arrived. I then drove her to work and then myself to the Leduc ER. Now I have only been to the Leduc hospital for shots and bloodwork. I have always gone to Devon for emergencies because its closer. Today I will not go to Devon for the ER of my own choice ever again. My last encounters with that hospital were horrible. They never gave me the time of day and even after telling them my symptoms that did a quick look and told me what I was feeling was wrong. Leduc on the other hand treated me with respect and did extra tests baised on what I had explained my symptoms to be. And I can honestly say I had fun for a bit at the hospital. I had to go for an ultrasound and they brought me a wheel chair and she wheeled me in a fun fast way through the halls to the ultrasound room. Me pushing my IV trolly thing along with us.

Oh man and they gave a full bag of Morphine, then some liquid gravol because I was very nauseous from the large dose of morphine. lol I slept for a while in that room. All those drugs making me drowsy. Well anyways after all is said and done I have 3 bruises and some pain, but I got a prescription and a decent time. I also want to thank Doreen and Luke for picking me up because the hospital wasn't gonna let me leave and drive home with all that morphine in my system! Well sleep is cathing up with me so I will go to bed.

Goodnight world! Love ya <3

Sketch 6 - Hold Me Goodnight

No color post today as it was a VERY long day. I had a request to do a dragon. I used to be good at dragons... not as good as MBJ but they weren't too shabby. However I kinda just went with the flow and an elf showed up there and yeah... thats what came out! Dragon looks horrible elf is got wonky proportions but hey its a 'sketch' blog. I love dragons and elves and fantasy stuff. Its amazing to think if this stuff really is real, hidden among the drabs of our reality. That's what I love about imagination. What's the say that WE are the fantasy to these mystical beings and creatures? Alternate universes, multiplications of galaxy's with life that we will never see! I swear I'm not crazy and I am proud to still have an open mind and an active imagination.

I tested the tattoo machines I bought today. The rotary machines are a lot quieter to the normal ones. So I hope it will help with some customers who are a little tensed after hearing the machine start up. Also I went to go get contacts and my eye prescription renewed only to find out the doctor is only in on Wednesday. Seriously....one day a week? How do they stay in business?On another note ... my separated husband and I will have our 3 year wedding anniversary tomorrow.... weird timbit for you.

Ah sugar.... timbits... uhhhg *drool* how I miss thee~ My trainer started me on a no sugar diet... it sucks and for those not in Canada, Timbits are doughnut balls made from the holes in doughnuts and are from the Canadian coffee chain Tim Hortons. But enough about my day! Good night world! Still looking for sketch ideas!
